Word is no intent to hire a replacement rider, what a bummer season for them. Had high expectations for Matt, Weston and especially Justin. Confused as to why they have no interest in a replacement. I am hopeful we see a better showing outdoors.

Yes Weimer is the Barcia fill in.. the OP is referring to JGR not hiring a fill in rider for Peick. Weimer is sticking around after Barcia returns though.

In there position, they have Justin Barcia returning in possibly the next two weeks and they already have Weimer, which fills their two 450 slots. There's no current need to hire another fill-in rider.

I'd call Top Jimmy honestly. With some more stability around him he is a 15th place guy every week. Already on an RMZ450.

Soon enough they won't need anyone though.

What does jgr seem to be missing to be a top elite team? Sure they had bad luck with bam bam getting injuried. Do they go after Eli this year? Who else could they possibly get to get on the box/win races

He most likely has conflicts. And why spend any extra money for a guy that barely gets in mains.
Just ride it out with JW12

One of Jimmy's main backers is FMF and he'd have to bail on them to do maybe one or two rounds for JGR, which doesn't make sense for his relationship with his sponsors.

Good point. It's still weird for JGR to no longer be associated with FMF...
